First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 12 Divorce

"Ustad!!!" Ustad Fariz was angry with the words of Ustad Jaki.

He does not accept if his Zahrah is owned by someone else. Quite first he relinquished his Zahra to others and in fact they are now reunited.

"Why Mas, you're angry, you don't accept that woman with Ustad Jaki? Is that how much love you can't let go? Really actor. Everywhere actors always make men fight over it. Not only is she the destroyer of people's households, she's the destroyer of people's relationships, your brotherly relationship will end because of that woman" Mirna let out her emotions.

"Quite Mirna, I don't want to hear you mocking her anymore. You don't even know how good he is" Ustad Fariz snapped to his wife. Just this time Ustad Fariz snapped at Mirna. From the beginning he was always gentle with his wife even though she did anything wrong. But now he cannot contain his anger when his Zahra is humbled by his own wife.

"Mas defended? I'm your wife. I'm your legal wife" Mirna showed me her emotions.

"You've gone too far Mirna. I never cheated on anyone. Keep your words, "Ustad Fariz is back in wrath and he's gone to leave Umi Sarifah and Mirna.

Ustad Fariz wanted to calm down. He went to the edge of the lake which was then visited by Rhea. Sitting in this place reminded him of the figure of the woman he loved, the woman whose name was always stored in his heart, Rheina Az Zahra, a name that could not be removed from his heart.

At the grass that Rhea was sitting on, and looking at the side where Rhea was sitting, she saw her Zahra sitting there and smiled at him. Smile and twinkle eyes full of happiness that is so beautiful able to shed the clear tears of Ustad Fariz.

What a heavy burden his heart was, he cried so hard to relieve the tightness inside his chest, and he shouted as loudly as possible to vent his anger.

The lake was very quiet at night, and no one would go to that place. But someone saw it with great sadness. The man felt very sad to see Ustad Fariz as fragile as he is now. Ustad Fariz never cried roaring and shouting even though he faced a very difficult problem.

It was not long before they knew each other, but they both understood each other because very close, there was always every one of them there was in need. A bond that exceeds a sibling. Ustad Jaki stared at the pity of Ustad Fariz as he is now.

He also felt sad if his brother was sad. And he feels pain if his brother is sick. Therefore he promised to help solve his problems in order to see the happiness of his brother.

Ustad Jaki approaches as Ustad Fariz calms down. He sat down next to Ustad Fariz, following Ustad Fariz's gaze staring at the reflection of the moonlight from the surface of the lake.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" the voice of Ustad Jaki suddenly startled the pensive Ustad Fariz.

Ustad Fariz took the small rocks around him and threw them into the lake.

Ustad Jaki followed what Ustad Fariz did. Not content to throw just by sitting, Ustad Jaki stood up and threw away the small rocks into the lake.

"Look at Ustad, further up my throw," Ustad Jaki laughed dismissively.

Ustad Fariz did not want to lose, he stood up and picked up small rocks and threw them into the lake.

"Still stick further my throw," Ustad Jaki laughed mockingly.

Ustad Fariz was upset. Seeing the reaction of Ustad Fariz who did not want to lose with him, Ustad Jaki had an idea that he thought would definitely make Ustad Fariz more challenged.

"Ustad, how about we bet," asked Ustad Jaki.

Ustad Fariz turned his head, his gaze implying a question mark on Ustad Jaki.

"Which throws him the furthest he can get Rhea, how?" challenge Ustad Jaki to Ustad Fariz.

Ustad Fariz threw his stone slamming into the lake with his anger. Ustad Jaki looked at him with an unwilling look and said,

"Astaghfirullahaladhim... Ustad, Rhea is not a thing. It's not appropriate for a Ustad to do that."

"You know what Ustad Jaki is about my feelings? No one knows my love for him which is so painful. We both hurt because of our love that cannot be united. It hurt Ustad so much that whatever we did couldn't take the pain away" Ustad Fariz was swept away in his speech, her tears falling back unstoppable.

Ustad Jaki approached and grabbed Ustad Fariz's body. Ustad Jaki calms Ustad Fariz in his arms. It was very clear if Ustad Fariz was crying in his arms.

"I understand Ustad, I can feel you both. I'm just here to help Ustad realize that you two must fight for your feelings. I know that Ustad can't divorce Ms. Mirna for being bound by a promise, and what about your feelings? Is it just this? How long can you survive in this friendship status? Ustad, remember that Rhea was a young woman who needed a life partner to guide her. Is Ustad sure he can face if Rhea is with someone else? Moreover, Miss Mirna accused him of being an actor and berated him. Is Ustad sure he still wants to be friends with Ustad after today? Even to just eat with us after the event, he did not want to, right?" Ustad Fariz unraveled his embrace and looked inside Ustad Fariz's eyes to see the answer.

"Then what should I do? I can't let her go, I wouldn't feel happiness if I wasn't with her. All this time I've been trying, and you know for yourself the results even though I look fine, but here.

"Married him Ustad, easy right?" answer lightly Ustad Jaki while sitting back on the grass.

"There is absolutely no intention of me for polygamy. From the past until now I tried to convince my love and my relationship with Mirna, but in vain, I could not have the feeling I felt for Rhea. It was even before I knew Mirna. No one knows how we feel. We were so sad because of the feelings we had. Hufft...," Ustad Fariz's tears had gathered in his eyes, but he did not want his tears to be known to others. In his helpline a long breath to relieve the tightness in his chest.

"Try aja Ustad not asked to marry Ma'am Mirna, surely you have been united since long ago. It would be selfish for him if he could not give up Ustad's promise to his parents or if he did not want to part with Ustad, at least he could allow Ustad to marry Rhea. The proof is that God has not entrusted you with a child, perhaps it is a sign from God. And I'm sure Ustad will get a descendant from Rhea" Ustad Jaki told Ustad Fariz.

Ustad Fariz was silent because he was tired of thinking and arguing. He just wants to listen to the opinions of this friend and brother.

Mirna's tears trickled down the conversation of Ustad Fariz and Ustad Jaki. His palm covered his mouth so that his cries could not be heard. Mirna is not far from where Ustad Fariz and Ustad Jaki are located.

Earlier after she spoke with Umi Sarifah, she intended to find her husband's whereabouts, but she did not suspect if she heard the facts that hurt her so much. Her husband has always acted like a husband only as his duty and he also exercised his rights as a husband because he did not want his wife to be sad.

And the very painful fact is that her husband loved the woman he now hated before he knew her. And it was because he and his parents that made them unable to unite. And the other thing that made Mirna's heart hurt was Ustad Jaki's words about heredity.

Mirna was not sure she could accept this despite the provisions of God, the ruler above all else.

Still with his cries, slowly he moved away from the place and immediately ran away when it was far from the place towards his home.

Arriving at home, she shed all her tears until she felt she was no longer claustrophobic. With the rest of her stuffing she thought that she would not be talaq by her husband.

She had been thinking for a long time but had no answer because all the mistakes referred to her, and earlier she had already berated, cornered and demeaned Rhea, the woman her husband loved so much.

Ah, considering that it feels like he wants to get rid of the woman so that she is not seen again on this earth. But what she could, now she could only take her husband's heart so as not to divorce him.

Mirna waited for Ustad Fariz to return home, but unfortunately Ustad Fariz did not return home until Mirna fell asleep waiting for her.

Ustad Fariz wanted to be alone, he wanted to find answers to all the questions in his heart. He deliberately did not come home so as not to meet Mirna. If he came home and met Mirna, surely he would not get the calm, because it was certain that Mirna would invite him to argue.

Moreover, Ustad Fariz was very very disappointed with Mirna who had berated, demeaning and even cornered Rhea without knowing the problem first. She should have asked her husband first.

It made Ustad Fariz very disappointed with him, he felt failed to educate his wife. Especially now their position in Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin is a role model for the students, therefore Ustad Fariz was very disappointed with his wife.

Tonight Ustad Fariz is staying at Ndalem, at the home of Umi Sarifah he gets peace. Umi Sarifah is very fair, she is not on anyone's side, and her affection makes Ustad Fariz feel comfortable, just like Bu Mirna's attitude towards her.

Remembering Ms. Mirna, she remembered her promise to look after Rhea. Now Ustad Fariz is afraid that he can't keep Rhea because Rhea has been away from him since Mirna hurt her feelings this afternoon. Long Ustad Fariz thought, finally he overslept before finding a solution.

The next morning after breakfast at Umi Sarifah's house, Ustad Fariz returned home to change his clothes. But when he opened the door, Mirna immediately ran over and kowtowed at him.

"Mas. I beg Mas.I will do anything so that you can forgive me and not divorce me."
